>>You are saying that OO is always larger/slower/whatever.<< Not really. What I meant is that using an OO-language you mostly end up with a program that is larger/slower/whatever. Which can nearly not be untrue. >>Again, as well, programming languages and methodologies don't guarantee anything, nor do they write or design our apps for us. We are still the vital part, and there is no excuse for failing to make the effort to put the pieces together correctly. Plugging incorrect values into a mathematical expression is sure to get the wrong answer, no matter how exact and correct the expression is. It's not different with OO or anything else for that matter.<< Agreed. Absolutely and totally. >>Certainly goto and exit loop have their places. As with any feature the savvy is not the abuse the situation and to do things as appropriate and applicable.<< Again, I agree. However, many, many programmers here in Belgium have even been thaught this exit thing doesn't even exit.
